Tag: Shows Of The Year

Live shows, concerts, clubs and festivals have always been the life blood of Janky Smooth and that was no different in 2025.  That’s why Top 10 shows are always on our year end lists… But 2025 was a relaunch in many ways for us after almost clicking our last click on this music blog through the pandemic.  This year felt like we were back at full strength for the first time.  A skeleton crew has grown skin that has been filled with the blood, sweat and tears of such a diverse group of contributors- all with their own taste.  Taste, and the lack of it, at times is what we celebrate on our music blog. Here are the Top 10 Shows of 2025 from 7 of our contributors.  Up next- The Top 25 Artists To Watch In 2026. *All highlighted picks are linked to reviews* related: Janky Smooth Top 10 Albums Of 2025 Rated By Contributors  Publisher, Danny Baraz Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds at Cruel World, Rose Bowl Nine Inch Nails at The Forum Lip Critic at The Lodge Room Fleshwater and Chat Pile at The Fonda Theatre Marilyn Manson at House Of Blues Anaheim L7 and Lunachicks
